Dilli Haat is located in the western zone of Delhi. It is a cultural center that reflects the culture of the place. The cultural center takes the inspiration from music and the idea was to give a home for playful music

Design a Convention Centre with an area of 500 Sqm that can accommodate 40-60 people. The concept design emphasizes on a convention center that can be a venue for multi-purpose functions and events like: exhibitions, meetings or corporate events at Dilli Haat Janakpuri. The space is designed keeping special population in mind by providing a free movement through Entrances, toilets and access to different levels The idea was to play with curves. The form is placed in such a way that it respects the existing curvilinear structure (proposed shops). The spaces are designed keeping special population in mind. The structure is designed in two levels, keeping the semi private zone on the first floor & the public zone on the ground floor. The designed structure features a strong visual connectivity between two levels, functionalism and circulation to enhance public experience. Creating something iconic through this form that is shaped out of POP. Designing in modern architectural style brought in to enhance the culture of western part of the Delhi and create a better user experience.
The convention Centre can be used in day time and night as well. The structure is bottom lit. A band of light runs around to outline the structure.

The façade of my structure uses the green roof concept of the exposition hall(existing structure)by providing creepers on the outer shell.
The first floor features a balcony facing north which is an element picked from “City of Arts and Sciences-Palau de les Arts Reina Sofia, Spain”- by Calatrava
The structure is divided into two levels, keeping the semi-private zones on the first level with public zone on the ground level. The entrance of the structure faces north which can be accessed through staircase with a ramp at disabled's’ facility. The public enters into a double height foyer space with a reception to orient people & collect information of the events happening and a waiting area for 6-8 people. Foyer acts as a focal point which then spreads towards Multipurpose Hall which holds a capacity of 40-60 people. A cut-out in the roof is provided to energize the two spaces with natural light falling in. The design talks about providing free access for the special population which is made possible by providing ramps, handicapped toilet , lift, wide entrances to let access each and every space. The two levels connect each other with a staircase from the foyer that leads to the first floor. First floor has a meeting room and a storage space. Meeting room holds a capacity 40-5- people and features a balcony that faces north which can be used by the people to break for tea and snacks after a meeting / seminar. This balcony connects the meeting room and the storage space . Entrance to the storage space acts as a service entrance to cater to the meeting room with one side of the lift opening in the store. The other side of the meeting room is facilitated with a fixed window which connects the meeting room with the foyer and the multi-purpose hall visually.

The site: Spark Mall , forms a radial(centrally located) and serves as a node to the kamla Nagar market and links to nearby areas with Delhi University in the North. The market responds to everyday needs of the students. This area experiences a homogeneous culture because of the students studying from all over India. My idea is focused on youth. The idea talks about the vibe. Energy. Change. Youth. Identity. Youth easily relates to music. Music has a very high rate of dominance on young minds which helps them to relate, inspire and feel. The design is based on creation of a space for students: an interpretation center & a cafeteria to recreate. Creating a space for the students where age group lies 18-25 yrs., culture: youth, social, & is easily accessible and inexpensive. Interpretation center: a place with an experience of knowledge, interaction, interest using multiple media and facilities like café or a shop. The concept for center takes music as a tool to interpret the change in music scene. Center provides some very educating displays and installations using some great music icons’ ideology and inspiration from music and instruments. The center has special provisions for artists to come, perform & inspire the youth and master them to create and experiment with different types of music and offers a free and open environment to express.
Recreation Space: getting famous eateries at one place which is inexpensive, accommodating 20-30 people to sit and play music and interact with artists, collaborate with different people & ideas. One side of the sitting space is lined around the periphery; borrowing landscape and allows natural light to flow in. • • •
To provide a healing environment around and transform the place by making it more lively To establish a visual connection across, in order to reach to the Public Bottom and Top Light Facade.

The idea was to create a habitable space for minimum space requirements. The design is influenced by the cultural, climatic, architectural context of JAMAICA. I designed a duplex with recreational area on the ground floor and the personal habitation on the first floor. Factors like natural lighting, ventilation, heat gain / loss are considered in the design.

This stage was about expanding the idea by clubbing the two stages and adding other cultural, climatic and architectural features.

The workshop was based on Paper folding structure where we had to make structure by paper which could bear at least 2- kgs of weight. Learning outcome: -Understanding of techniques: • Inter-locking paper, cutting & scoring. -Explored strength of paper. -Tension and compression acting on the structure. -Understanding of techniques: • pre-tensioning & post- tensioning. -Understanding of forces like: tension and compression acting on a structure. -Explored flexibility of materials.
Aim of this workshop was to implement theoretical knowledge into practical and broaden our understanding. To make a structure with MINIMUM BRICKS. E.g.: public furniture, installation / mural. Groups.: 6 student Naraina+ 3 student Noida+ 2 student Jaipur + 1 Mason No. of bricks: 400 bricks + 50 Lakhori bricks/group
